Abstract OR-7: Genome Release Mechanism of Picorna-Like Viruses

Protein capsids protect the genomes of viruses from degradation in the extracellular environment. However, virus capsids must release genomes into a host cell to initiate infection. We used cryo-electron microscopy to characterize the genome release of viruses from the order Picornavirales: picornav...
